Here are theScore's center value rankings for Saturday, April 16:

Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C

Top Options

NAME OPPONENT VALUE
Dwight Howard (HOU) vs. GS 8
Al Horford (ATL) vs. BOS 7

Howard has averaged a double-double against the Warriors this season and comes with a palatable salary. He looks like the best option at center. The Rockets won't be able to out-shoot Golden State, so look for Howard and James Harden to do most of the damage.

Horford is a well-rounded player, but he tends to be a better real-life player than fantasy player. A double-double is not a lock, and the Boston defense should limit his scoring.

Mid-Tier Targets

NAME OPPONENT VALUE
Jonas Valanciunas (TOR) vs. IND 6
Steven Adams (OKC) vs. DAL 6
Andrew Bogut (GS) vs. HOU 6

Valanciunas' season averages of 12.8 points and 9.1 rebounds should be used in cash games. His limited scoring potential caps his value.

Bogut has also averaged a double-double in two games against the Rockets this year. He is a cheap option with strong tournament appeal thanks to his cheap salary.

Nothing to See Here

NAME OPPONENT VALUE
Zaza Pachulia (DAL) at OKC 4
Ian Mahinmi (IND) at TOR 4
Jared Sullinger (BOS) at ATL 4

Pachulia posted 26 double-doubles on the season and was a dominant force early in the season. Like Bogut, he is another tournament play.
